Join us for the launch of the new book, “Peacebuilding and Catholic Social Teaching” by Theodora Hawksley.

The Roman Catholic Church, with its global reach, centralized organization, and more than 1.4 billion members, could be one of the world’s most significant forces in global peacemaking, and yet its robust tradition of social teaching on peace is not widely known. In Peacebuilding and Catholic Social Teaching, Theodora Hawksley aims to make that tradition better known and understood, and to encourage its continued development in light of the lived experience of Catholics engaged in peacebuilding and conflict transformation worldwide.

This event will take place on Zoom. Register by 5pm 10 March to be sent the link.
